Putin’s Tyranny

Russia has invaded the Ukraine, in a wanton act of pure tyranny and aggression.  Just like in the 1930s, bad actors seek the control and dominion of other nations for purely selfish reasons.  They want what others have and mean to take it by force.  

Putin, the leader of Russia, will go down in history as just another thuggish dictator like Hitler, Stalin, Napoleon and Abraham Lincoln.  There is a nasty impulse in people that makes them want absolute control of others, and they are adamant that their desires are sacrosanct and holy.  This lust for power is the ugliest of human impulses and how to control and contain it is a perpetual problem of those who seek liberty.
